{"product_id":"qualitative-diagnosis-of-human-movement-2","title":"Qualitative Diagnosis of Human Movement","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       For kinesiology professionals, qualitative movement diagnosis (QMD) is a        critical skill in helping individuals improve performance or reduce the        risk of injury. \u003ci\u003eQualitative Diagnosis of Human Movement: Improving        Performance in Sport and Exercise, Third Edition With Web Resource\u003c\/i\u003e,        focuses on the processes behind movement observation, assessment, and        diagnosis, emphasizing how to recognize and correct errors in human        movement. This unique text teaches anyone working in human        movement–related professions how to integrate and apply knowledge from        the fields of kinesiology, allied health, and engineering to help        clients, patients, or athletes improve their movement performance or        move with a lower risk of injury.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Well received by scholars worldwide, the previous editions, formerly        titled\u003ci\u003e Qualitative Analysis of Human Movement\u003c\/i\u003e, broke new ground        as the first texts devoted to QMD. The third edition continues building        on that foundation with a new title, \u003ci\u003eQualitative Diagnosis of Human        Movement\u003c\/i\u003e, to better reflect the diagnostic and corrective aspects of        this critical skill. Following are other improvements to this edition:     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • A web resource replaces the CD-ROM from the previous edition and        contains more than 70 all-new video clips and follow-up questions to        provide real-life examples to practice movement diagnosis.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Expanded coverage of the use of video and computer technology shows        readers how to use modern tools to aid in observation and evaluation of        movement.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • An additional 80 new sources of research relevant to QMD illustrate        the extent to which this area of study has taken hold in the kinesiology        field.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       As in previous editions, \u003ci\u003eQualitative Diagnosis of Human Movement,        Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, organizes research-based knowledge into a simple        theoretical structure supplemented with numerous examples of        application. It introduces a four-task interdisciplinary model of        QMD—preparation, observation, evaluation and diagnosis, and        intervention—and summarizes the development of this approach and the        perceptual factors relevant to movement diagnosis. Readers are then led        through a series of tutorials that provide real-world examples. These        practice scenarios will help readers better understand the process from        beginning to end as they review photos in the book in QMD Practice        sections (with accompanying video in the web resource or video-enhanced        e-book), and then perform their own movement diagnosis by viewing video        from the web resource or video-enhanced e-book in QMD Explorations.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       In addition, a chapter titled Theory-Into-Practice Situations provides        case studies spanning a variety of movement, fitness, and sport        settings. These case studies are featured in both the book and the web        resource as printable forms that offer readers support in developing        their own plan to assist the subject in the case study. Several other        features such as QMD Technologies and QMD Demonstration sideboxes add        more tools to show students how QMD can help clients in real-world        sessions. For instructors, an image bank containing the book’s prominent        figures, tables, and photos is available for use in delivering lectures.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eQualitative Diagnosis of Human Movement, Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, provides        students, teachers, and researchers with a practical diagnostic        framework, tutorials to guide them through the QMD process, advice on        capturing relevant information from motor performances, and descriptions        of intervention strategies. The updated edition and the unique web        resource are invaluable tools capable of sharpening the skills of even        experienced diagnosticians. This text will assist readers in integrating        their knowledge of all kinesiology subdisciplines in order to develop or        improve their skills in QMD and better serve their clients, patients,        and athletes.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Duane V.
